A Cessna 150 crashed in the front yard of a house in Granville County neighbourhood, North Carolina, late on August 28.
The plane departed at 6:13 p.m. from Bowman Field in Louisville, Kentucky and was on its way to Elizabeth City Regional Airport in North Carolina, when it clipped some tress and went down in bushes in the front yard of the house at 3002 Krogen Court, Granville County.
Raleigh-Durham International Airport officials reported that they were informed about a plane having problem at about 11:05 p.m., but the connection with the plane got lost. The wreckage of the plane was located at 12:30 a.m. Friday.
The pilot was injured and was taken to Duke Hospital where his condition is believed to be stable.
The residents of the house were sleeping at the time and did not hear any noise. The homeowner Ashley Bartlett said, “I don’t think the reality of it set in until we were leaving the scene and driving to the hotel. It could have been catastrophic.”
The aircraft is registered to Ethan Leggett of Pewee Valley, Kentucky.
The NTSB is investigating the cause of crash.
